Venus also mentioned that she may or may not wear that outfit again (proving that it was not temporary insanity) … and also that she brings eight to ten outfits to every tournament, in case she keeps winning.

Just imagine what her suitcase looks like!

Tell Mean Betty, pets – what do you think of Venus’ little get-up? Is Mean Betty being cranky? Or is Venus rather an embarrassment to le sport?

Mean Betty, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I don’t follow tennis, and while I freely admit to having a THING for the Williams’, Venus just upped her place in my little score board. Not just for the KILLER game she has, but for her confidence, attitude and STYLE.

That girl has BALLS and I think people are threatened by her not only being able to pull this look off, but kick ass at tennis while doing it.

venus is not exactly known for her mainstream style. i personally don’t care what she wears, but what does mama & papa williams say about these victoria’s secret-like tennis outfits? hmmmmm…makes me wonder what is up with this entire family.

ouch! sort of nasty looking. i’m surprised she can play so well, what with the concentration on what the spectators might be thinking, giving a great photog pose, etc. very interesting & confusing all at the same time.

A) The self-righteous homophobia is really uncalled for on this board. And if it had been a man praising her looks & getting called disgusting, I’d say the misandry was uncalled for too.

B) Venus is nearly 30 years old. Regardless of the propriety of the outfit, she is old enough to dress herself.

C) Venus is certainly no delicate flower. But she has a beautiful, womanly, healthy, curvy body. Masculine is the last word I’d use to describe her physical appearance. So she’s strong. So what. Again, I’m not debating whether or not the outfit was appropriate for the occasion. Saying she’s too masculine looking for that makes one sound jealous. (Whether it’s of her curves or her athletic chops I won’t speculate.) And even if she was “masculine looking”, it’s not anyone’s place to judge.

I think that vdenus is kind of a role model for a lot of people, and a lot of kids knows who she is. She’s one of the best at what she does; this means that next time, she should wear some actual clothing. not just a little lace rag. And no offense to Talon, but that’s not style. Thats frumpy.

singingnymph what are you even talking about. there is no homophobia on the board and venus isn’t gay anyways is she? misandry isn’t even a word and masculine is exactly how most people would describe her. she has more of a manly bod then most women that’s fact.
i think she looks silly what was she trying to prove by wearing this?
